Hi Team, we are going to deliver a speech on a developer forum where most developers hv not used our tech before but using other database and integration technologies , Pls give us some key points on why they should adopt us and the benefits you can get, especially if you change your tech stack from others to IRIS. Thanks a lot!
Hello everyone,
I'm working with a class generated by OpenAPI in InterSystems IRIS, specifically impl.cls. In one of the classmethods of this class, I need to switch to the %SYS namespace to access system-level functionalities and then switch back to the original namespace.
I tried using the following commands:
new $namespace set $namespace = “%SYS”
However, these give an error when executed. Is there a proper way to change namespaces programmatically within a classmethod and gain access to the %SYS namespace? Any best practices or example code snippets would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Hello,
Since version 1.93 of VS Code, the “import and compile” process has been very slow (more than an hour).
Have you encountered this issue and do you know how to resolve it?
Thank you,
Maxime
In the business world, every second counts, and having high-performing applications is essential for streamlining our business processes. We understand the significance of crafting efficient algorithms, measurable through the big O notation.
Nevertheless, there are numerous strategies to boost the performance of systems built on the IRIS Data Platform. These strategies are equally crucial for optimizing overall efficiency.
Let's join the journey for a sneak peek into the tips for making IRIS Data Platform work better, where every little trick will help your applications shine.

Is there a simple way to compare Stream data between two objects?
We have used $ZCRC to create a checksum and that seems to be work.
We have also read each line of the streams and compared them and that seems to work too.
We just think there has to be a simpler way than looping through all the lines of the stream.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This demo program is used to show how a custom FHIR profile can be employed to validate data compliance. The custom FHIR implementation guide was developed based on FHIR Version R4, and in this example implements the Organization resource extension to validating data compliance.
Installation
- Download the project via Git clone.
- Execute docker-compose up -d to build and start the container, the initial execution will download required container images and executing the script will take another 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the machine).
This is a consequence of work being done by the VS Code team to improve Find in Explorer.
Symptoms without proposed APIs:

Note the continual clock badge and progress bar.
With proposed APIs enabled you will require v2.12.9-beta.4 or later, otherwise the find runs but returns no results.
See https://github.com/intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript/issues/14… for more information.

Motivated by personal feedback by @Edilson Eberle Carvalho and
an excellent presentation of @Michael Braam related to Vector Search I'd like to share
my personal approach to Vectors.
When I started and met vectors with 256, 384, and over 1200 dimensions - I felt lost.
However my example Vector-inside-IRIS - a simplification of iris-vector-search - worked fine.
In order to understand the mechanics behind it, I decided to start in small steps.
Our common 3 dimensions describe our physical world quite fine.
Even the half 4th dimension (no negatives) added by Einstein is not to hard to follow.
Hello all,
I need help with coming up with a SQL query that pulls only one value. I have a case where two providers share the exact same name. Each has a different NPI number and IdentityTypeId. I tried the below query - output is also below.
Hello,
I'm trying to create a custom IRIS4Health docker container utilizing CPF Merge but getting an error below. The merge file has been copied to the container within the docker file. Anybody know what would cause this error?
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c iris start IRIS && iris merge IRIS mergefile.cpf" did not complete successfully: exit code: 133

Hi Community!
Suppose you have a working system on 8-bit Caché database and need to transfer the solution to Unicode database.
How do you manage that?

You have probably heard a lot about LLMs (Large Language Models) and the associated development of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) applications over the last year. Well, in this series of articles we will explain the fundamentals of each term used and see how to develop a simple RAG application.
What is an LLM?
LLM models are part of what we know as generative AI and their foundation is the vectorization of huge amounts of texts.

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the September 2024 release is now available.
Version 1.94 now includes:
- Find in Explorer - Quickly find files in the Explorer view with the improved Find control. As a consequence of this, the Explorer's Find widget on server-side folders requires v2.12.9-beta.4 or later with Proposed APIs enabled. Read more in this Developer Community post.
- Source Control Graph - More filtering options and interactivity in the Source Control Graph.
It has been asked a few times recently, how one can make Laravel Framework work with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. It's been a while since this post about Laravel and InterSystems Caché was published. To bring it up to date, the article gives a brief instruction set on how to setup and configure a Laravel project for use with InterSystems IRIS through ODBC.
What is Laravel?
Laravel is a PHP framework that is based on MVC architecture. Using Laravel simplifies and speeds up the backend development while building modern secure web applications.
I am working on a scenario where source will be sending 6 files to HealthConnect. In HealthConnect we need to process all the 6 files and send them to MoveIT through the Operation. In Health Connect we need to configure a property file through the data that we will be receiving in one for the six files.
Can someone help me with the workflow that can be setup to achieve this.
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way for a business host (specifically an operation) to check whether the production it's running in is trying to shut down?

Hey Community,
Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in September 2024:
I have three different methods for exporting classes and projects as XML files, but each one produces slightly different output:
- Studio (what I currently use for exporting): I export as a project (with the 'only project' option disabled). This generates all classes and the project in a single XML file.
- VS Code: This method only exports the classes, and it doesn't include the project in the XML file.
- Console export using %SYSTEM.OBJ.Export: I used the following command to attempt the same export as Studio:
do ##class(%SYSTEM.OBJ).Export("MyProject.Prj, MyProject.*.cls", "TempDir/MyProject.
If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.
I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.
So if you made a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.
Hi all,
When passing on the content of a file in a REST API call, I need to put the original file name in an HTTP header. As it happens, some file names have non-8-bit characters in them ("å", "ö", and the like), and these arrive garbled on the other side. Does anybody know the correct way to encode them (assuming they should be encoded at all)?
$zconvert(filename, "O", "UTF8") does not appear to be it. I'm leaning towards $zconvert(filename, "O", "URL"), but leaning isn't good enough.
Thanks,
Otto
I try to add custom setting in BPL process by adding parameter SETTINGS = "Scope" and property Scope As %String. But how do I access instance property in BPL process? I get error that method or property Scope is not found.
Hi Community,
A new GenAI-supported tool is coming to the online documentation and learning sites! What will it be called?
